Lychee

Lychee is a small tropical fruit originally from southern China that is widely used in Asian desserts, fruit salads and beverages for its fragrant, floral-sweet flesh and distinctive bumpy red skin. One hundred grams provide 71.5mg of vitamin C, making it a notable fresh-fruit source of this antioxidant vitamin while also contributing small amounts of fiber and minerals. Overall, it is a refreshing, low-fat fruit choice valued more for its vitamin content and pleasant flavor than for protein or bulk, so it’s commonly enjoyed as a snack, in fruit mixes or as a sweet accent in cooked dishes and drinks.
